Belfast International Airport (Belfast Aiport) I flew out of belfast airport around four years ago, when I did fly out of the airport it was a bad time to fly out. The day before we where to depart to orlando the shoe bomber came on the scene! So the airport secuirty was put up. But the airline I was travelling with most of their planes had Technical difficuilties. So I was delayed for 30 hours and had to stay in the Hilton over night. So I should be able to tell you enough about it as I was in it for 24 hours. Area... The Belfast airport isn't in belfast, it is closer to Antrim a city near belfast.

Belfast International is the airport I frequent most often; I have probably flown through here close to 100 times and each and every time I've had a pleasant experience. The airport is a rather small but not altogether insignificant airport serving as home to a number of low cost airlines flying to everywhere from Rome to New York. It's location is convenient for most of the country, but unfortunately transport links between the airport and Belfast city are poorly advertised (if advertised at all?) and you can't help but feel stranded when looking to leave the place. This is somewhat made up for by the number of rental agencies nearby. When going ...  Read the complete review

Its a decent little airport though everytime I've been it feels like im the only one there! The airport itself is located well for all parts of Norther Ireland so its great in that respect. We've used various car hire outlets there and never had a problem with any, get your keys, go to the car park and then you are away. I would hate to get stuck at this airport though, it's tiny and while it has a few bits and pieces like a shop, cd's to buy, food it is nothing like English airports, you'll find yourself very very bored after half hour. We use easyjet from Luton and have never had a problem when arriving, the luggage arrives fast and going back ...  Read the complete review

Belfast International Airport is Northern Ireland's main airport located centrally within Northern Ireland making fairly convenient to people from all parts of the country. In terms of scale Belfast International Airport is fairly small compared to most international airports but it does cater for quite a wide and ever expanding range of worldwide destinations. Certainly a lot more than there used to be! The main airlines which fly out of the airport are: *Aer Lingus *bmibaby *Easyjet *Continental *flyglobespan *Jet2.com *Manx2.com There are also plenty of chartered flights which go to all the well known ...  Read the complete review
